So worried for the artRAVE now if it's anything like this. I'd rather she did a show like Swinefest, even a similar setlist, props etc.

Ack I missed everything because it's been such a busy week. TONIGHT I will come on here and look up the links and watch my girl! I love the photos though. She looks so beatufully dirty and it does look so raw just like how I love GAGA!

 

Just keep doing what you're doing GAGA, just be the artist you want to be whether you want to be glammed up or dressed down. It's what I love about her because she changes it up all of the time. Most performers don't do that. They just follow one routine.

Where did gaga say swine was about rape? I'm not questioning you I just honestly want to see it

Last night, in the introduction to Swine, Gaga said that the song was about rape and rage...

The performance was awful, how can some be so blinded by fandom that still defend this trash?

 

Aura was awkward, lame opening, you couldn't hear her voice and she yelled terribly at times.

 

MANiCURE and J&D, it was obvious she was drunk and trying to do a 'rock performance' but she sounded terrible, even her band seemed like they didn't have enough time to rehearse and sounded out of key.

 

Swine, OMFG!!! Some of you are defending that saying that it's art? really? Well I'm not into that type of art, SORRY, it was gross as F, never thought I'd see Gaga do something like that it was more Cyrus-esque than anything, not even Miley would go that far.

 

Bad Romance sounded awkward too, though I'm happy she is finally reinventing something.

 

Dope and Gypsy were the only good performance, even though I'm bored as F of those two, actaully the whole setlist was pretty dissappointing. As for Applause, well, it was ok, dont like the song anyway.

 

Not to mention her attitude, the way she looked, her make up was bad, she looked heavy, she's definitely gained weight and she doesn't give a F, which is good, but that isn't the LG I fell in love with during The Fame era, "F pop music" really? really? like really?

 

You cand defend her to death, doesn't matter, I'm being objective and it's NO LIE (and pretty obvious) she is digging her own grave.

Who's watching the keynote now? :party: http://sxsw.com/live

ME...ME!! It was ****ing amazing! So proud of her!

 

I didn't get a chance to watch the performance until this morning, but some of the comments from fans last night did not match up with what I saw with the overall performance.

 

First of all, Swine is one of my least favorite songs on ARTPOP (sorry Swine fans :( ), but I'm always open to growing into liking a song as the era goes on. I'm not into the whole vomit scene and it challenges me to think about the message and the song in a different way. So...it's kind of confusing, but I think it was meant to be just that. TBH, the meat dress freaked me out more than the Swine performance. Gaga has been doing these kinds of statements since the TFM era, it's nothing new.

 

Other than that, this performance was exactly what I was expecting from a Gaga festival performance at SXSW. The atmosphere at SXSW is not about a pretty pop stage. It is raw, real and often times experimental. Gaga's performance was what suited the environment and was exactly like she said- going back to her roots. It was rock and raw and it was fitting she included her friends, who have been with her since that time. Gaga's performance made perfect sense in this setting and I'm glad she is the type of artist who isn't scared to explore and present all the sides to herself!

 

As always, I'm proud of Gaga and proud to be a fan!

I absolutely loved this performance! It was raw, it was open, it was awkward, and it was real!

So many artist nowadays would refuse this sort of show because of the risk of seeming unpolished or turning off the fans, but Gaga has always shined in this setting

 

I'll agree that the vocals were a bit subpar and that the backing track sometimes overpowered her, but the sheer rebellious energy that oozed from her was captivating and everything I've always loved about her.

 

The "Swine" performance with Millie was an amazing throwback to the "Puke on Gaga" interlude from TMB and also served to highlight the theme of the song; it is an explosion of anger and a gut-wrenching response to something horrible and disgusting in her past.

 

The reconstructed "Bad Romance" was a bit cringeworthy at first, but it grew on me after a while

 

The whole attitude and rebellious punk-rock feel of the show reminded me of the small-town rock shows I personally grew up with, so I had a huge grin on my face the entire time.

 

 

 

I guess since everyone else is talking about how "worried" they are, I will say that I am worried too!

 

I'm worried about whether or not I'll have to add metal and leather to my neon-art outfit for the ArtRave! But if I do, I'll welcome it with open arms!

 

TL;DR - I am here for PunkRock!Gaga, but I know this probably isn't indicative of how the ArtRave is going to be.

You're entitled to your opinion, but don't say I can't like the performance. I loved it. Too bad. Get over yourself.

Secondly, everything you said was fine. Your opinion. Until you were saying she looked heavy and didn't care. That's a bad thing?? ****, I'm glad she gives no ****s. And too bad if that's not the Gaga you fell in love with. It's the Gaga she is now, so if you don't like it, leave her the **** alone and stop being a fan. I'm pretty sure she, nor anyone else will care. Her and her "ugly-makeuped face" and her "overweight body" will keep on making music and blowing people out of the water, whether you like it or not.
